Lord Meng's eyes turned bloodshot with urgency. "Tell me quickly!"
"Lord Meng, please torture me. The charcoal fire isn't very strong anymore," Yun Shu said with a smile, kindly reminding him.
In her peripheral vision, the red charcoal fire was no longer as fierce as before.
If this were to burn her skin, it wouldn't hurt as much.
Lord Meng looked at her, calm and composed, showing no signs of ruthless methods.
Today, they had swiftly surrounded the General's mansion, leaving no escape. All the people in the mansion had been apprehended.
The intention was to prevent Yun Changfeng from having any chance to retaliate.
Yet, they never expected that in such a situation, they would still have an opportunity to counterattack!
Suddenly, an unbelievable thought flashed in his mind. Could it be that they knew beforehand they would be thrown into prison today?
"If my son suffers any harm, I will never let you go!" Lord Meng threatened through gritted teeth.
Yun Shu smiled faintly and remained silent.
Even though she was tied up here, she could still remain calm and converse.
But Lord Meng...
was truly disappointing.
The more Yun Shu remained silent, the greater Lord Meng's fear grew.
"Speak!" Lord Meng roared in a low voice.
Yun Shu chuckled, "Does Lord Meng still want to use torture?"
"You!" Lord Meng's eyes turned even redder, a sliver of fear creeping into his heart.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth and command outside the door, "Take Miss Yun Er away!"
Half an hour later.
Lord Meng, unwilling to give up, arrived at Yun Changfeng's cell.
Seeing Yun Changfeng sleeping with his eyes closed, Lord Meng, completely sleepless, was furious.
In less than a day, he had fallen into a disadvantage!
"General Yun!"
A furious shout made Yun Changfeng open his eyes.
Yun Changfeng looked at Lord Meng expressionlessly.
"Where exactly have you taken my son?" Lord Meng questioned, somewhat beside himself with anger.
He knew that Yun Changfeng must be the mastermind behind this!
He truly deserved to be called a great general for arranging all this so calmly!
Yun Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Lord Meng, what madness are you experiencing?"
What son?
He narrowed his eyes, observing Lord Meng's somewhat flustered expression.
Could it be that something he didn't know had happened?
And Lord Meng thought he was responsible?
Seeing Yun Changfeng pretending to know nothing, Lord Meng remembered Yun Shu, who was like him just now. He said hatefully, "It's best if my son is unharmed! Otherwise, I will definitely not let this go! General Yun, do you really think you can turn the tide? I tell you, it's impossible!"
After a burst of rage, Lord Meng gasped for air.
Because he realized that Yun Changfeng in front of him was too unfathomable!
Too cunning!
Yun Changfeng remained silent.
He was inwardly assessing what trick Lord Meng was playing.
At this moment, Lord Meng was clearly suffering from a psychological shadow. Yun Shu's silence, coupled with Yun Changfeng's current silence, had thrown Lord Meng into a panic.
"My lord, shall we use torture to extract a confession?"
A jailer beside him asked Lord Meng.
Lord Meng's vision swam black. He needed to see someone quickly!
To see if he could save his son before dawn.
Also, could he resolve the mistakes he had made before?
"Not for now!" After speaking, Lord Meng immediately left the prison.
Yun Changfeng was left in a state of confusion by Lord Meng's words and actions.
However, everything would become clear tomorrow.
He had just received news that Shu'er was safe.
He was finally relieved.
He never thought that one day, he would have to come to this prison with Shu'er.
But where was the military seal?
...
At the same time.
A letter reached Yun Dezhi and Madam Yang.
Upon learning who had delivered the letter, both of them showed proud expressions.
"Let me see Yue Yin's letter," Yun Dezhi said, opening the letter excitedly.
Today, they had witnessed Yun Changfeng being thrown into prison with their own eyes, accused of colluding with the enemy and treason. This was an unforgivable crime!
From now on, Yun Dezhi would be a distinguished great general.
Coupled with Yue Yin's backing, his future was boundless.
A great future lay before him!
The couple eagerly looked at the letter sent by Yun Yue Yin's subordinate.
After reading the letter.
Both of them instantly beamed.
"Yue Yin will arrive in the capital tomorrow!" Madam Yang exclaimed with joy.
Yun Dezhi also smiled broadly. "She's back, she's back! She's finally back! We'll go to the city gate to meet her tomorrow."
"My lord is right, we'll go to the city gate. In the blink of an eye, it's been several years since we last saw Yue Yin!" Madam Yang's heart throbbed with excitement.
As long as Yue Yin returned, she would be the most envied wife in the entire capital!
Everyone would envy her for having such an intelligent daughter as Yue Yin!
Yun Dezhi's face was also flushed with joy. "Prepare the household properly!"
"Yes, my lord, I'll go arrange it now." Madam Yang quickly put away the letter and hurried off to give instructions to the servants.
Yun Dezhi, meanwhile, paced excitedly in the room.
His heart was filled with exultation.
Once Yun Changfeng was convicted, he would truly be a great general!
At that time, he would command the army, what a majestic sight!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that if he were asked to testify in court tomorrow, he might be able to act justly and execute his own relative.
After all...
This act would surely make people believe that he, Yun Dezhi, was righteous and would not shield his family!
A moment later, Madam Yang returned and ran to Yun Dezhi.
"My lord, we will have to move back to the General's mansion in the future, but it won't be Yun Changfeng's mansion then, it will be yours! That way, Yue Yin will have face in the capital," Madam Yang said.
As she had just gone to the kitchen to give instructions, she had seen the small kitchen and immediately missed the General's mansion.
This place was really too cramped.
Yun Dezhi nodded. "Don't worry, we'll be able to return then."
The couple embraced.
Their eyes were filled with beautiful aspirations for the future.
...
Unknowingly.
Daybreak arrived.
A sliver of morning light filtered through the small window above the prison cell.
However, it was still unable to bring any warmth to the entire cell.
It remained as damp and cold as ever.
The moment Yun Shu opened her eyes, she saw a woman looking at her.
The woman's name was A'Cha.
A'Cha said nothing, just watched Yun Shu.
"Once I confirm your words are true, I will take you away," Yun Shu said softly, making a promise.
A'Cha's eyes, hidden beneath her hair, suddenly flashed with light.
But upon closer inspection, one could indeed see some horrifying scars on her face.
...
Outside the capital city.
A group of people soon arrived at the city gate.
Upon seeing the person in the carriage and the entourage following behind, everyone at the city gate bowed respectfully.
Then, the group entered the city.
Those who witnessed this scene immediately spread the news.
The Regent King had returned!
Yun Yue Yin had returned!
